Previously I posted the following detailed description of the problem:
"Whenever I go to a site that I have not visited before I temporarily get the screen "this site can't be reached" check spelling etc. Usually after a pause it does load the site but sometimes I have to click the reload button, and that the site's page loads normally. This is happening on two windows 10 laptops that are connected wirelessly to the R6400v2 using 5 gigahertz connections. Browser is Google Chrome Version 93.0.4577.82 (Official Build) (64-bit). This started happening after I updated my R6400v2 firmware to version V1.0.4.118_10.0.90. My internet speed tests at 100+ Mbps download and 11 Mbps upload. Anyone else experiencing this?"
Since the original post I upgraded to firmware version V1.0.4.120 (lastest as of 9/20/2021). This did nothing to solve the problem described above. So I then downgraded the firmware to version V1.0.4.106. The above problem has gone away. However I am leary of using this firmware since the later versions were released to fix security issues.
I know my R6400v2 is at least 3 years old, so I am considering buying a new router (Wifi 6) from Asus. Thinking I want to buy from a different vendor since the comment was made that my problem is widespread in the Netgear line with the latest updates.
